A device configured to receive a set of bits for a first package from a previous device of a plurality of devices connected in a daisy chain configuration, the set of bits for the first package including a first priority value and if the device does not have a second package for output to a destination device of the plurality of devices, output the set of bits for the first package to a subsequent device of the plurality of devices. When the device has the second package for output to the destination device of the plurality of devices, the device is configured to determine whether the second priority value is higher than the first priority value and if the second priority value is higher than the first priority value output a set of bits for the second package to the subsequent device of the plurality of devices.

Daisy chain configuration using priority values

A method for operating and/or monitoring a machine, in particular, a multiple axis robot, includes determining whether an outer border of a first spatial area and an outer border of a second spatial area intersect each other, and detecting a penetration of the first spatial area by the second spatial area, in the event that the two outer borders intersect each other, wherein one of the two spatial areas is machine-fixed.

Method and system for operating and/or monitoring a machine, in particular a robot

A portable electronic device is configured in particular as a mobile telephone having a first housing element with a second side. A linking device links the housing elements in such a way that they are movable in relation to each other, the first side facing the second side in at least one first state. A camera for acquiring images is arranged on the first side in such a way that it faces away from the first housing element. Moreover, an optical deflection device is arranged on the second side in such a way that it reflects back light impinging upon the second side. In the first state, the camera is arranged in relation to the optical deflection device in such a way that it receives light via the optical deflection device, while a second state the camera is moved away from the optical deflection device in such a way that it receives light which has not been deflected by the optical deflection device.
